Slow Food RVA is the local chapter of the world-wide slow food movement, which has 100,000 members in 132 countries. Slow Food folks aim to educate, celebrate, and advocate, and hope to “reconnect Greater Richmond area residents with the people, traditions, plants, animals, fertile soils, and waters that produce our regional food, thus promoting sustainability and preserving biodiversity.”
